Free Meals for Kids During the Summer!

Summer Meals for Kids, provided by The Open Door, Cape Ann’s go-to hunger-relief organization launched this week providing at least 11 sites in Gloucester and Cape Ann so kids and their families can make sure no kid goes hungry while school is out.

All sites serve take-out meals only, so children can eat at home with their families. Breakfast and lunch is bundled together, and Friday sites hand out extra meals for Saturday and Sunday.  Last year during the summer, The Open Door distributed 39K meals to local children–a FIVE-FOLD increase over pre-pandemic norms. This year the same need is expected. Current sites include:
